Spoiled by Mr Russell (Lily Christian and Alexander) novel Chapter 183

Chapter 183 Lily‘s anger was something Olivia had not expected.

“I don‘t need that!” Lily was furious; her tone was stern, and her expression solemn.

“Lily, I...” Olivia did not think Lily would react this way; it stunned her momentarily. “A-Am I wrong for this?”

“Of course you are!” Lily emphasized another time. “What do you regard yourself as? What do you regard me as? I know they‘ll come up with new products because they have been manufacturing the old ones for quite some time. They would be unable to sustain the business for long without creating new ones.

“However, I‘m not interested in their new products or formula! Liv, you‘ve been working in this industry for some time. I‘m sure you know what you can and cannot do! Do you think it‘s right to pry on other perfumer‘s formulas? “Do you think I can‘t fight them head–on with my skills, so I need you to spy on them for me?” Lily paused for a moment. Then, she said, “Liv, I don‘t need you to be on the watch for me. Come over and be my assistant. That‘s where you belong.” Olivia did not know what to say. She just stayed silent after Lily reprimanded her. A while later, she apologized. “I‘m sorry.”

‘I was wrong. I thought this would be the best way to avenge Lily. However, I forgot that doing so would only turn us into the same kind of person Nathaniel and Melanie were.‘ Nathaniel and Melanie stole Lily‘s products and formula, and Olivia wanted to pry on their formula and secrets so she could tell Lily about it. If she had done that, she would be the same as the nasty duo.

“Liv, I know you‘re only doing that for me, but come over and help me if you truly want the best. I recently had a new idea and have been researching it. I can‘t handle everything alone. Come over and help me out since it‘s about time you can leave MN Inc.” Lily sincerely said as she pushed the contract slightly toward Olivia again. This time, Olivia accepted her offer and immediately picked up the contract. While skimming it through, she joked, “The pay isn‘t any higher than the one I‘m getting now!”

“Your pay will increase if you do a good job in Rebirth. Even the bonuses from the projects are lucrative in Rebirth.” Lily chuckled. “Okay then, I guess I‘ll do this for you.” Olivia feigned grievance when happiness had filled her up from within,

It was something that called for a celebration, as Olivia could leave a suffocating environment to work with a friend again and do the things she liked.

When Lily reached home, it was already near midnight. She had been too occupied with work recently and often came back late. Fortunately, Alexander had been busy with his work as well. As the two had their heads buried in work, it had been a few days since they last saw each other.

A wave of yearning washed over Lily when she returned to their empty bedroom. She missed him. Back then, she would work till this late as well. She went home alone, slept alone, and managed everything at home alone. Nathaniel would accompany her occasionally, but he would leave after having a meal with her.

She had not felt such loneliness or yearning for Nathaniel before. Now, she was probably used to having Alexander around. She was used to his presence and adoration for her. She had to admit that she had grown reliant on him.

At one past midnight, she climbed into bed after taking a shower. After some thought, she sent Alexander a text. “You‘re not coming home tonight?”

She fell asleep before his reply came Exhaustion filled her up from head to toe. She was so tired that she did not wake up when Alexander came back or when he circled his arms around her, hugging her from behind.

She felt warmth and mumbled incoherent words amidst her sleep as she turned around to face him. Stretching her limbs, she hugged him back No, she practically sprawled over him, rendering Alexander speechless
